In the men’s bathroom smoking area, Alex checked Ellie’s Instagram and found it empty. Frustrated, he left the restroom, bumped into Layton, and asked him for a cigarette.

Layton immediately spotted something off about Alex. After ensuring no one was around, Layton whispered, “Having a boyfriend is good for Ellie.

Alex shot Layton a fierce glare. “Good my ass.”

Layton raised an eyebrow. “I think it’s fine. You didn’t lose anything while Ellie was away. You’re already engaged to Haley, and Ellie has a boyfriend now. You’re not her brother, so just leave it alone.”

Alex swore like crazy, as if he wanted to stab Ellie and the guy in the video. Layton quickly changed the topic. “Let’s go have some fun and play a couple of games.”

Layton pulled Alex into a private room in the hotel to play cards. After a few rounds, three of them won, leaving Alex as the only loser. “Let me borrow your phone for a call,” Alex said and took Layton’s phone as he got up.
